Just when Yang Xuanzhi was complacent, he suddenly received a letter from the Daotai Yamen, informing the front-line generals to gather in Nanchong, the Shunqing Mansion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Yang Xuan took Du Jigui, Niu Dayong and others on a ship transporting military rations, and spent a day and a night rushing to Nanchong County, the seat of Shunqing Mansion, a hundred miles away.

The quickest way to march short distances is on horseback, Yilong is only one hundred and fifty miles away from Nanchong, and it can be reached in a day with a fast horse, while it takes a day and a night to take a boat.

In order to investigate the feasibility of transporting military rations by water in the future, Yang Xuan decided to delay a little effort and rushed down the river to Nanchong County on a ship transporting military rations.

Even if the Jialing River reaches the middle and lower reaches of Shunqing Mansion, the water flow is very sufficient, but the waterway is twisted and turned, there are many dangerous shoals, and it is not easy to sail.

Seven or eight sailors rocked the boat with a paddle a foot long, and avoided the dangerous shoals from time to time, and it was not yet summer, and the weather was still a little cold, but the sailors opened their shirts one by one, and rowed quite vigorously.

Yang Xuan also paddled a distance and shook his head, although there was no problem with paddling for a short time, but he felt a sore arm after a long time.

After thinking about it, he looked at the boat boss next to him and asked, "Brother, wasn't there a kind of building boat during the Song Dynasty?"

On the same day, the thieves in Dongting Lake rebelled, and Yue Wumu led his troops to conquer them, and they once captured two ships.

I heard that this car and boat do not need to be rowed, you can just pedal on your feet, it is fast, and it is very labor-saving, why don't we build more of them? ”

The boat boss patted his head, thought about it carefully, and said, "My lord, it seems that Yue Chuan talked about Yue Wumu's capture of Yang Mo's car and boat that day?"

What happened to this car and boat, the masters did not say, it seems that the water wheel was installed on the boat.

Stepping on the axle, the car and boat moved like flying, but how to build it, the master didn't say, and the little second child didn't know. ”

Seeing that everyone was so closed, Yang Xuan, in addition to looking at the river and sighing, hoped to collect more ancient books, gather more skilled craftsmen, and make his own cars and ships, so that he could crisscross the sea in the future.

Although the boat was quite bumpy, it was much more comfortable than riding a horse, especially after sleeping peacefully at night, and rushed to Nanchong, the Shunqing Prefecture in the morning.

When he was about to hand over the portable waist card to the porter for inspection, he was seen by the porter Yin Chengqi, and said from a distance: "Yang Zhixian, you are so close, why did you come so late, just now the adult said that Yang Zhan will despise him?" ”

Yang Xuan smiled and said: "Scribe Yin, the conscience of heaven and earth, how dare the lower officials despise the third-grade masters." ”

Yin Chengqi smiled and took Yang Xuan to the hall, and Yang Xuan also honestly kowtowed to Long Wen, who was sitting on the top.

Seeing that Yang Xuan was the closest and came the latest, Long Wenguang, a political officer in northern Sichuan, said angrily: "Yang Xuan Yang Zixiu, why did you come the latest?"

Liu Zongbing received the news that he traveled to Fucheng overnight, and you are only here now, what is the reason? ”

People had to bow their heads under the eaves, and Yang Xuan kowtowed again to ask for peace: "Boss, how dare the little one be disrespectful to the boss."

Forgive me, my lord, after receiving the letter from the Daotai Yamen, the little one took a boat overnight, and there was no delay in arriving in the middle. ”

Hearing that Yang Xuan came by boat, Long Wenguang became even more annoyed and said: "The old man has repeatedly warned you to rush to the old man's tent immediately, you take the boat slowly, what is the reason?" ”

When Yang Xuan heard this, a cold sweat broke out on his spine, what happened to this Long Wenguang today, but he still kowtowed: "Boss, Xia Guan is just a deputy leader, and he was promoted to Bai Zong, General Manager, Qian Zong, and Acting Zhixian by the Adult.

Master Mingjian, this time the last general will come by ship, mainly to study the manufacture of vehicles and ships. ”

Shi Jinchen, the prefect of Shunqing, said with disdain: "Everything is inferior, only reading is high."

Yang Xuan, you are a scholar, a dignified seven-grade county, look at what you have done all day long?

In the past, local commercial taxes were contracted to others to collect on their behalf, but you are good, you have just taken office to set up a township office, and directly collect taxes.

Also, if you go to the townships below all day long, hunting today, and repairing the reservoir tomorrow, isn't this not a bad job? ”

Yang Xuan arched his hand and said: "My lord, as long as it is beneficial to the people, I will not be despicable and do nothing."

Ladies and gentlemen, many of you come from a bitter cold home, and of course you understand the difficulties of people's livelihood.

What the people are most worried about is not the weight of taxes, if the field and ding taxes are heavier, everyone will eat more wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger, and everyone will eat tree bark to hang their lives.

If they are conscripted, it is common for relatives not to see each other for several months or years, and some are even separated from each other.

This time to lead the army, the subordinate saw that all ministries have requisitioned and issued labor and transported military rations, everyone, if the soldiers are hard, those who are conscripted and issued are even harder, pitiful.

The lower officials sometimes think that if we build a large number of vehicles and ships, and use the navy as a food route, then the people can live and work in peace and contentment. ”

Shi Jinchen's face was blue and purple, and it was not easy to have a seizure.

Long Wenguang thought for a while and said, "Yang Xuan, the old man from Guangxi, is also close to the big river, but he hasn't seen a car or boat either.

This shipbuilding technology has been lost, tell me, do you have any eyebrows in your research? ”

Yang Xuan raised his head and wiped the beads of sweat on his face, Yang Xuan said: "Back to the old man, the students have been flipping through various ancient books for the past two days, hoping to find all kinds of clues.

This car and ship was built by Li Gao in the Tang Dynasty, and there are the following records in the "Old Tang Book" and "Li Gao's Biography": "Chang Yun is ingenious, for the warship, carrying two wheels to go to it, flying the wind and waves, as fast as hanging sails, and the province is easy and long-lasting." ”

Li Gang, a famous minister in the Southern Song Dynasty, also once built a kind of flying tiger warship, "set up four wheels, eight wheels per round, four people spin, and travel thousands of miles a day." The wing oars are the wing oars, each wheel is equipped with eight wing oars to hit the water, Li Gang once used the Flying Tiger warship to inspect the navy.

When Yue Wumu was crusading against Yang Mo, he once ordered the carpenters to expect Gao Xuan's eight chariots and ships.

These are recorded in the annals of history, but how can the skilled craftsmen not make it now, so this special boat expedition hopes to be able to build this kind of car and ship. ”

While talking and thinking, Yang Xuan's eyes lit up, this car and ship is probably the prototype of a modern ship, the modern ship is a propeller, driven by an internal combustion engine, and the ancient car and ship is a waterwheel, driven by manpower.

At this moment, a tall general sighed and said: "General Yang's concern is not unreasonable, the people are suffering, and the people are suffering, if you can really realize the transportation of grain and grass by the navy, if you can build a large number of vehicles and ships, it is really a great merit."

General Yang, may I ask if this car and ship manufacturing has eyebrows? ”

When he turned around, it was Yang Zhan who spoke, who had just been promoted to a general.

Yang Zhan was born in Wujinshi, a person from Jiading Mansion, and a famous general in Sichuan. Three months ago, he went to Baizhang Pass in Baoning Mansion to recruit Wang Chaoyang's rebels, and his courage was commendable.

Seeing that the other party was openly speaking for himself, Yang Xuan couldn't afford to be polite, and replied with his fists clenched: "The old general asked, and the last general could only answer truthfully, if it was just in the form of a car and a boat, it shouldn't be much difficult."

But to ensure that the design is reasonable and can gallop through the river, it will not take months. ”

When everyone heard this, they laughed, Long Wenguang's face softened slightly, and he waved Yang Xuan to sit down at the bottom.

Everyone spoke softly, and other generals arrived one after another, and Long Wenguang was kind and comforting to everyone, instead of reprimanding everyone like he reprimanded Yang Xuan.

After everyone arrived, Long Wenguang asked people to put out an incense case and took out a wrapped yellow holy decree.

Everyone was shocked, everyone knelt down one after another, and after shouting long live, Long Wenguang stood on the top and read the holy decree loudly.

The holy decree was given to Long Wenguang and Liu Jiayin.

The holy decree said that the governor Chen Shiqi led the troops and abandoned the military affairs, causing the local tyrants to sit in northern Sichuan and depose him as the governor of Sichuan.

When he participated in politics and rebelled with the tyrants, he was well arranged, defeated the local tyrants, recovered Zhou County, and was promoted to the governor of Sichuan.

Liu Jiayin, the commander-in-chief of northern Sichuan, was well-dispatched and promoted to the commander-in-chief of Sichuan.

After everyone shouted long live, they all stood up and congratulated Long Wenguang and Liu Jiayin.

The two looked complacent, and said yes again and again.

Everyone sat down again, Long Wenguang looked at the many generals lined up below, pointed to the map and said: "Generals, everyone has heard more or less about the situation in the past few years, and now Li Zicheng is already proclaiming the emperor, leading the so-called Dashun Army to the east, trying to overthrow the orthodoxy of our Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Xianzhong has now captured Kuizhou Mansion, and is now facing off with my staff general Zeng Ying and staff general Zhao Ronggui under Wanzhou City.

Although Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were blocked from entering our Sichuan in the past, the situation is now becoming more and more severe, not only are the local rioters sitting in northern Sichuan, so that we cannot send troops to Longxi to contain Li Zicheng and other rogues, nor can we prevent Zhang Xianzhong from entering the Kou in eastern Sichuan, so it can be said that our Sichuan is in a stormy situation and may be overturned at any time.

From now on, everyone needs to be conscientious and brave in their work, and they must not procrastinate like in the past and live up to the great trust of His Majesty. ”

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly clasped their fists and said yes.
